What’s new

Custom Space Attributes

We’ve created a new capability that allows spaces to be highlighted and analyzed using custom or user-defined attributes and values.
Now, attributes can be indicated with text or yes/no text in the value types, and assigned a color.
Spaces (Block-rooms) on the floor plan can be tagged with defined attributes and values.
Additionally, spaces with the tagged attributes and values can be highlighted using the new Floor Plan Highlights functionality.
Custom space attributes are also available as a new data-set within Insights.

Now, with the new capability you can directly share design file viewer links from within the Design tab.
The functionality supports sharing multiple files together. Users with the relevant permission can share the design file with existing team users, existing customer users, user groups or new users from within the share dialog.
Users who have received the viewer links can be notified via email and In-app notifications.

With the new feature addition, our system can now provide recommendations on optimal mobility percentage for each department on the Strategy Inputs page on the basis of Badging data.
Recommendation data can be viewed in the new column “Recommended Mobility %”.
